Or: some of the people who most loudly criticize other peoples' work are very insecure about their own. They may never have been very good in the first place.

Also, all fanfiction is pedestrian writing. It's fanfiction.

Criticism or disparagement of a work because of the medium rather than the content has got to be one of the most vapid opinions possible.

Show us on the fanfiction where someone mocked you.

Seriously, though. Calling something "pedestrian" isn't really being very disparaging. There's very good fanfic out there. It's just by default playing with someone else's characterization, which puts it in another category of writing.

A lot of respected original authors started out with fanfic.

Just butting in, but would you say that John Milton, Dante Alighieri, and Virgil (not to mention plenty of other serious authors) are being pedestrian for playing with someone else's characterization/canon more broadly?

The Bible, a fundamental part of western civilization, isn't Supernatural.

That's like comparing somebody using a couple references to Gilgamesh to somebody's Kigo slash and caling them the same.

I was referring to these people's original fic, actually, but thanks for the completely unnecessary jab at fanfiction.

Oh god.

This is over someone making fun of your fanfic, isn't it?

Oh god.

Someone points out that you jumped to a stupid conclusion and your response is to jump to another one.

What are you paying the poor slob who will have to write your thesis for you?

I'm terribly sorry that I assumed that they were talking about pedestrian fanfiction in the thread that is angry at people who poke fun at badfic, which is overwhelmingly fanfiction.

What are you paying the poor upperclassman who is helping you pass freshman English?

You're three for three in the uncalled-for assumptions department here; congratulations.
